Iberdrola Renewables signs 25 year PPA for Twin Buttes II Wind Project in US

Iberdrola Renewables has signed a 25-year contract to supply 76MW power generated by the Twin Buttes II Wind Project to Tri-State Generation and Transmission Association in the US.

Located across on 11,000 acres land in Colorado, the Twin Buttes II project will feature 38 wind turbines.

The construction work of the project is expected to be completed in 2017.

Once fully operational, the energy generated will be enough to power 30,000 average Colorado households.

The project is also expected to deliver approximately $270,000 in local tax benefits and $250,000 in landowner lease payments annually.

The project is located 23 miles south of Lamar, Colorado, near the company’s existing Twin Buttes Wind Project.

Tri-State senior vice president Brad Nebergall said that in 2014 most of the energy delivered by the company and its member systems were generated from renewable resources, which also helped it become one of the leading utilities in the country.

Iberdrola Renewables vice president Barrett Stambler said: "We are happy to support Tri-State’s renewable energy goals with affordable wind energy from our new project.

"With experience developing, constructing, and managing wind and solar projects in Colorado, we look forward to reliably providing clean power and supporting a new partnership with them."
